It takes every inch of energy to get out of bed

My 12 year old daughter went to her Guidance counselor this last Tuesday and told her that my 15 year old son had been sexually abusing her. CPS took my son out of the home and made me find a place for him to stay. I have to keep finding him places to stay or they'll take my daughters and other son. I had to take my daughter into the hospital for an exam. I had to take my son in to see a detective. Our family is torn apart. I dont know what to think, do, or say. Will we ever be a family again? No one knows. It takes everything in me to get out of bed much less do anything else. I have to take perscribed sleeping pills to sleep. I dread the next day to come. I just want it all to go away and everything be ok again. I feel like I am all alone in this, that I am the only mother this has happened to and I ask what did I do so wrong, why me. I hope that I will find someone I can talk to.

I'm so sorry you are in this perdiciment but you need to be there for your daughter, I know it's going to be hard and you are going to have so many emotions going in so many directions all I can suggest is to get yourself a therapist or counsellor to help look after you while you walk thru all this, and talk to whoever will listen - sometimes that's all we need just someone to hear us

I am so sorry your family is so torn apart. You do need to be there for you daughter and help her through this. I would suggest whatever happens to your son that he gets the best counseling he can get. I am not sure if he was abused by someone that made him do this, either way he also needs help so he doesn't go on to do this again.

Your need to be strong for your family right now. I know it is hard but what you do for your children is so important right now.

Make sure they both get the help they need. It is going to take a lot of hard work but you can put your family back together but you can't do it with wishes or prayers. It is going to take couseling and hard work on everyones part.

Even though I have not had to face the issues you are going through, I can only imagine how I would react. I also have a 12 yr. old daughter. She has three older brothers. I would have to say that I would have a hard time not seriously hurting one if they ever did anything like that to their sister. I commend you. Even though its difficult and you're having a rough time, you are coping under the worst of circumstances. I agree that both your children need therapists. Your son is still a child. Regardless of what he has done, he will always be your child. If you do not have a therapist, please find one. Family members are too emotionally involved and sometimes don't act the way they should. You really need to seek advice from an outside person. I am so sorry that you have to go through this. Take care of yourself. Your family needs you.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
